/ "The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party" is much funnier than it has any right to be.// "Undecided Voter" is basically just any given thread from the Politics tab prior to Election Day

Mikey1969:Wait, I thought all the cool kidsold geezers claimed that they didn't watch SNL anymore since something like '82... Can someone explain this?

FTFY.

Just admit it, everyone. SNL has gotten considerably better in recent years than it ever did in the 70s, 80s, etc. It's more polished, better organized, more effort is put into the writings, the casting's gotten better... The mind just has a way of remembering long-ago things much more positively than they actually were, and suppressing the unfavorable things from memory. Just watch those old SNL skits now, they have NOT aged well.

It's the same Fark phenomenon with the Simpsons, and how Trekkies think those god-awful 1980s and 1990s Star Trek movies are WAY better than JJ Abrams' reboot.

SNL is watched by the cool kids while they are 17-25. That's why SNL has been on for so long. You can figure out someone age by what they think is the best SNL skits or who there favorite SNL actors were. For example SNL was the best ever during Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade and Julia Sweeney era.

Anyone that can watch the "Real Houswives of Disney" and not laugh is a coal-hearted grump.

This is a good era for SNL; they've gotten out of the "beat every one-joke sketch into a seven-minute dud" habit and it really has improved things. That was always the biggest weakness, I felt, and their pre-recorded spoofs of TV shows and commercials address that.

Loser. The best era was Dana Carvey, Nora Dunn, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson, Jon Lovitz, Dennis MIller, Kevin Nealon, featuring Al Franken, A Whitney Brown...(I still actually hear this in Don Pardo's voice)...in the mid to late 80's. I was 17-25 from 1991-1999, but started watching at a much earlier age under a single parent's roof.I missed a lot of the live airings of the Myers/Farley/Sandler/Carvey/Schneider cast because I was terribly stinking drunk in the woods, at a party, or at a bar through much of that time.They've had some lean shows, even some bad years in between, but for the most part they've had some fantastic casts and individuals. What I can never understand is how they can be so great when it's good, but every week some sketches are so, so terrible. I'd be willing to bet the people up close and invested in comedy take those terrible sketches and say "Wow, that would have been amazing if Fallon wasn't laughing" or somesuch of a minor tweak.

Cecily Strong's "The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party" is altogether funny, but her placement of "Can I just use the N-Word" is amazingly timed.Also, perhaps you're noticing a trend in female cast members. I don't think we'll be seeing another Rachel Dratch anytime soon, and that is a bad thing. I mostly blame Melanie Hutsell.
